The Assimilated Galor-Class Elite is a Borg-assimilated warship that spawns in dedicated Elite systems between level 53 and 81. It shows up in three hull types (Battleship, Explorer, and Interceptor), so the ship you bring depends on which variant you target. It drops Elite Solo Outpost Credits, two Retaliation currencies, and Solo Outpost Components. To beat one, match its warp range, then send the class that counters the hull you are attacking.
How to beat the Assimilated Galor-Class Elite
Combat in STFC runs on a rock-paper-scissors triangle. Interceptors beat Battleships, Battleships beat Explorers, and Explorers beat Interceptors. Survey ships barely fight, so leave them at home for this target.
This hostile appears as all three combat hulls, so pick your ship to match the variant in front of you:
- Against the Battleship variant, bring an Interceptor.
- Against the Explorer variant, bring a Battleship.
- Against the Interceptor variant, bring an Explorer.
One warning on the “Elite” tag: these assimilated hostiles carry far heavier stats than an open-space hostile of the same level, so the counter class alone will not carry a weak ship. The right shape matters, but so does the right ship tier, so bring a hull rated for the level band you are hitting. The stats table below shows how fast strength and hull HP climb from level 53 to 81, and jumping in a band or two above your ship tier is the fastest way to lose it.
At these levels the fight rewards raw damage and survivability, so a starter crew will not cut it. Use a captain that boosts weapon damage against hostiles, then fill the other seats with officers that add damage or mitigation, since a Borg ship that survives your opening volley will hit back hard. Crews shift with the meta, so check the current picks on the Officer Tier List before you commit to a build.
Where to find the Assimilated Galor-Class Elite
These hostiles sit in Elite systems, with warp cost rising alongside level. The lowest spawns start at warp 255 near level 53, while the level 81 version sits far out at warp 3000. The gap between bands is large, so plan your warp range before you travel: a ship set up for the level 53 systems will not reach the level 70-plus systems without a warp refit. Match your warp range to the band you can actually beat, and clear the closer systems first.
| Level | Warp | Systems |
|---|---|---|
| 53–54 | 255 | Elyndra, Tyrvax |
| 56–57 | 355 | Azrythic, Euronyses |
| 60–61 | 520 | Robhva, Vorulith |
| 63–64 | 900 | Amantorus, Cylarnis, Vadiqea |
| 66–67 | 1100 | Fenrithar |
| 70–71 | 1300 | Zyntheris |
| 73–74 | 1550 | Vurnaxis |
| 76–77 | 2000 | Oculon |
| 80–81 | 3000 | Embrathil |
Rewards and what it drops
Every variant drops the same reward set, aimed at Elite Solo Outpost progress rather than ship leveling. The Credits and Retaliation currencies feed the outpost store and event tracks, while the Uncommon and Rare Solo Outpost Components go toward outpost upgrades. Higher-level kills pay out larger stacks of each, so the level 80-81 spawns are the most efficient once your ship can handle them. Ship XP reads zero across every level, so grind these for the currencies and components, not for experience.
| Drop | What it is |
|---|---|
| Elite Solo Outpost Credits | Store currency for the Elite Solo Outpost track (10 to 30,000 per kill). |
| Outpost Retaliation Medal | Reward currency tied to Outpost Retaliation progress (10 to 200). |
| Retaliation Plunder | A Retaliation event resource (6 to 55). |
| Uncommon Solo Outpost Components | Uncommon-grade parts used for Solo Outpost upgrades (40 to 500). |
| Rare Solo Outpost Components | The rare-grade version of the same components (15 to 200). |
Assimilated Galor-Class Elite stats
Stats vary by hull variant and climb steeply with level, so treat these Explorer-hull anchors as a read on the curve, not exact numbers for every spawn.
| Level | Total strength | Hull HP | Shield HP | Attack | Defense | Ship XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 53 | 12,978,913,000 | 20,280,934,816 | 5,070,233,704 | 289,453,095 | 13,875,645 | 0 |
| 67 | 393,190,824,628 | 609,803,274,982 | 152,450,818,745 | 11,040,115,304 | 1,023,662,460 | 0 |
| 81 | 665,160,576,238,611 | 1,055,229,139,132,090 | 263,807,284,783,024 | 4,840,659,156,544 | 801,705,124,510 | 0 |
The Borg in Star Trek
The Borg are a cybernetic collective that assimilates other species and their technology into a single hive mind linked across the galaxy. First encountered by the crew of the USS Enterprise-D, they absorb ships, crews, and knowledge, then rebuild what they capture into Borg tools. An Assimilated Galor-Class started life as a Cardassian Galor-class warship, a workhorse of the Cardassian military. Once the Borg take it, the hull is fused with Borg circuitry and drones, turning a familiar enemy design into part of the Collective’s fleet.
Is the Assimilated Galor-Class Elite worth grinding?
Yes, if you are working through Elite Solo Outpost content. It is a steady source of Elite Solo Outpost Credits, both Retaliation currencies, and Uncommon and Rare Solo Outpost Components, which feed outpost upgrades and store buys. It gives no ship XP, so do not use it to level a hull. The practical tip: match your warp to the band you can clear, and always bring the class that counters the variant you tap.
